The best roller blind spots in Bremen
Are you looking for a quick and tasty meal in Bremen and have you heard of Rollos? Then you've come to the right place! In this article, we'll take you on a culinary journey through the Hanseatic city and show you where you can enjoy the best rollos. 😋
What is a roller blind?
A rollo is a type of wrap consisting of a thin pre-baked flatbread with a variety of fillings. It comes in a wide variety of flavors and gets its unique taste from brief, very hot heating. This intensifies the flavors of the filling and sauces and makes the pastry shell crispy and crunchy. Tasty and tasty🤤.
Where do roller blinds come from?
Even if the origin is not 100% clear, everything points to the fact that the culinary delicacy has its origins in Bremen. In the 1980s, Bremen-based restaurateur Hossain Saravi opened a kebab snack bar on Sielwall in the Steintor district and sold the world's first rollo at this very location a short time later. Since then, it's hard to imagine the Hanseatic city's culinary landscape without Rollo's, delighting countless Bremen residents with their unmistakable taste day after day. 🔥
Rollos are still offered in takeaway restaurants today and enjoy great popularity as a fast food snack "on the go". In Bremen, you could even go so far as to say that Rollos have displaced pizza as the most popular fast food dish. 🍴
(Editor's suggestion: grab a Rollo and snack on it on the Osterdeich, in the Wallanlagen or simply to-go while strolling through the city ).

Frequently asked questions about Rollo restaurants in Bremen:
1. what is a roller blind?
A rollo is a thin flatbread filled with a wide variety of ingredients and sauces, rolled up, sealed and heated very hot for a short time. This allows special flavors to develop and the outer shell of the rollo becomes unmistakably crispy and crunchy.
2 Where does the roller blind come from?
Roller blinds seem to be an invention made in Bremen. The first rollo was sold in a fast-food kebab restaurant on Sielwall in Bremen in the 1980s. Since then, this Bremen specialty has made an incomparable triumphal march across the Hanseatic city.
3. what is the difference between a roller blind and a Dürum or Lamacun?
The filling of a rollo can be more varied than that of its culinary relatives. But the main difference lies in its preparation. While lamacun and dürum are simply filled and rolled up, a rollo is reheated in its sealed, rolled-up form. This process releases special aromas and gives the rollo a crispy outer layer.
4. are there also vegetarian and vegan roller blinds?
Many rollos are at least vegetarian. One of the most popular fillings for a rollo is falafel. However, it remains to be seen whether the flatbread is vegan.
